TV’s vivacious vampire vexing vixen goes interactive for the second time in Buffy the Vampire Slayer : Chaos Bleeds. The game plays out as an interactive "lost episode" from the TV series, the one in which Buffy and her buddies must thwart the machinations of some supremely evil dude by kicking, punching and systematically slaying every single vampire, zombie and demon they come across. Buffy buff or otherwise, you don’t need to know the backstory behind the various characters, playable or slayable, because you’ll get to know and enjoy them here. Regardless, Chaos Bleeds is mostly just a free-roaming 3D fighting game pumped to the max with trademarked macabre chic, black humour and trendy gothic gore.
